This season was fantastic and John Lithgow played an amazing villain but id still rate season 2 and entire Doakes/Dexter saga as the best season. I cant wait to see what they will do next season and how they will try to top Trinity or if they will just let Dexters life unravel with Deb finding out and s**t.

Was a great season. I hope there are more after season 5. With this there is a good chance for a few more seasons..

Sunday night’s “Dexter” set a series high with viewers with over 2.1 million for the 9pm telecast, it was also the most-watched single airing on Showtime since Tyson vs. Norris in October 1999. (not the finale, the episode before the finale)

But I think with Rita gone Dexter will get even darker and I have a feeling the kids might end up living with the grandparents with Dexter visiting occasionally. Once the fact Rita is murdered gets wrapped up.. Im sure Dexter will be a suspect.

how is Dexter going to be able to explain his dead wife in the bath tub without giving away his link to Trinity? Further, what's Dexter's alibi going to be for Rita' death?

both very good questions that we have no answer to lol...that's going to be an awkward scene when he calls the police unless Dexter just goes on and disposes of her himself...that'd just bring extra heat on him though so i doubt he'd do that

I was thinking all last night about when trinity had the chance to go k!ll Rita

I figured that Trinity k!lled Rita while Dexter was looking for him at his family's house and the swat team busted in

Trinity was walking around with extra swag around that same time

so it's possible that Dex can just say he was on the scene with SWAT

there's 10 ways they can write this...it doesn't seem like the writers are just making s**t up as they go along though which is a good thing

yeah that's what I said in my earlier post but the families of Aster and Cody don't know the trinity k!ller and what he does...s**t still going to seem fishy to them...they seem a little loopy, they probably smarter than the damn cops

someone has to remember seeing a 6'4 serial k!ller walking around a police station and talking to dexter
they shouldn't have k!lled Doakes so early...he woulda put this s**t together in 2 seconds

and doesn't Dex still have trinity's getaway money...that could be added to my change of scenery theory

Dexter could take his show on the road

you're right he would have figured it out talking about some "listen here motherf**ker i know you involved in this s**t" i can envision how that s**t would go. and that s**t would be hot if he took it on the road but the only thing is that he would completely be a vigilante then. definitely would take some time getting use to new characters though

people will just think that trinity was trying to get back at deb for his daughter dying. dex can make up anything as far as an alibi. no one is going to think that he k!lled rita. it was clear that trinity k!lled her. dexter better hope that trinity's family doesn't out him.

Don't know why that was so funny to me.

How many of y'all cried when you seen Harrison and Rita scene?

Not me. I was hoping for (and predicted it) before the episode started. However, it was still somewhat shocking (because I didn't see it happening AFTER they showed Trinity getting k!lled, and I didn't see it mirroring Dexter's situation either). I wanna say I'll miss her, but I won't. Her character was BY FAR the most annoying character on the show for me. (Deb is a distant second.)

man my mouth just dropped at the end....man I was hoping for it to be a dream....ahhh man...once dexter got home and the music in the background I knew something was up....and when his phone said he had 2 voice messages......

dude if u thought John Lithgow was a good villain in this u gotta watch Ricochet with Denzel Washington and Ice-T

Pretty much. They'll probably skip ahead a year to six months just like they did this season.

Straight up, I knew Rita was going to die. With the fam in his life, Dexter was going to try and give up "the Dark Passenger". And the show isn't the same without the k!llings (s**t people b**chED this whole season about Dexter not having a high enough body count).

My guess is that season 5 is going to be one of the darker ones. All the emotional growth and development he's experienced these past 2 seasons is going to be halted and he's going to be on his "i've no emotions" schtick all the while subconciously grieving Rita's death (he'll probably have an epiphany in season 5 that he indeed does miss Rita and is actually *sad* about her death).

I also there's going to be a reversal as far suspecting Dexter of being "up to something". Deb I think is going to be the one suspecting and Quinn is going to be defending Dexter. Deb cannot and is not going to let that Ice Truck k!ller/Laura Moser connection go.

Also, Dexter relationship with his son in season 5 will more than likely be a huge theme. I think in the beginning he won't be very attentive or loving (still grieving Rita's death and will be going overtime with the k!llings) but will realize that life isn't over and he has a responsibility to tend to (plus prevent his son from going down the same road Dexter went down). Finally I think season 5 will end with Deb finding out about Dexter.

i don't think you understood the significance of the ending this season. his son, is going through the same exact thing he went through as a baby. i.e. watching his mother die and sitting in a pool of blood. his son will have a "dark passenger" also. i think dex will end up having to take his son with him on some k!lls.
